The prime divisors of the period and index of a Brauer class

Abstract

We show that in locally-ringed connected topoi the primes dividing the period and index of a Brauer class coincide. The result applies in particular to Brauer classes on connected schemes, algebraic stacks, topological spaces and to the projective representation theory of profinite groups.
